Fruit Roll Up Area/Perimeter

Have kids work in teams. Each group will need 1 box of fruit roll ups (10 snacks). Kids measure and figure out the area and perimeter of one fruit roll up. Then, they scoot a second one next to their first and find the area and perimeter of two snacks. They keep adding additional snacks, creating a large shape (finding the area and perimeter each time).
